A carjacking suspect is dead after being shot during an altercation with Bossier City Police on Thursday. State Police is now investigating the incident. Trooper Brent Hardy says an officer responded to an attempted carjacking near the CenturyLink Center.
“He observed the subject who matched the description of the carjacking suspect in the parking lot of the CenturyLink Center. The officer made contact with the subject and a struggle occurred. During the altercation, the subject was shot,” said Hardy.
Hardy says they now have a positive identification on the suspect.
“The subject who we now have identified as 42-year-old Jeremy Fox of Bossier City was pronounced dead at the scene,” said Hardy.
A Bossier City permit inspector underwent surgery today after suffering a broken shoulder during the initial carjacking attempt at the hands of the deceased.
“No officers were injured during the incident. The investigation remains active and ongoing,” said Hardy.
The inspector had gotten out of the truck when the suspect hopped in and upon trying to stop him, was pushed to the ground, causing the injury.
